Abstract
Mammals and other complex organisms can transcribe an abundance of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that fulfill a wide variety of regulatory roles in many biological processes. These roles, including as scaffolds and as guides for protein-coding genes, mainly depend on the structure and expression level of lncRNAs. In this review, we focus on the current methods for analyzing lncRNA structure and expression, which is basic but necessary information for in-depth, large-scale analysis of lncRNA functions.
